The time was captured by Yann’s Hénoret’s camera in the documentary Emmanuel Macron, behind the scenes of a victory, broadcast just after the 2017 presidential election. On Sunday of the first round, the candidate and his team allow yourself a lunch stop on a motorway area. Which dish to choose? “Me, I like the Cordons-Bleus, there,” says Emmanuel Macron.
